A Curious Optical Game.
The squirrel family is a favorite one with
young folks, and perhaps no other species of
this favorite family affords greater interest
than does the flying squirrel, a picture of
which is here given. In gliding from tree to
tree our common American flying squirrel
descends obliquely and with very rapid
motion (see cut), until near the tree which it
seeks to reach, when it wheels upward and
alights at about third Of tho height which
it was from the ground on the tree which it
left the distance between the trees being per-
haps fifty feet.

to imprison man for debt, still in force? c. L.
The law imprisoning man for debt in
England was abolished in 1888. 1t is still
possible to confine man for his debts there,
in case it is apparent that he will try to evade
them by fraud, i. e.. if he is preparing to

Curious Optical ExDeriments.

An interesting and instructive experiment
with rays of light can be made as follows:
Make small hole in stout piece of paste
board, and set the piece upright on table in
front of two or three candles placed near
each other. Lay sheet of paper on tie
table, and the rays from the different candles
passing through the hole will form as many
spots of light as there are candles, each spot
being perfect and distinct This experiment
proves that the rays of light do not obstluct
each other in their progress, although all
cross in passing through the hole, lesson
young folks will do well to remember
Take large conical shaped drinking glass
and place ten cent piece into it, and fill it
about half full of water. Put a plate upon
the top of the glass and turn it very quickly
over, so that the water may not escape, and
piece of silver as large as a half crown will
Immediately appear i'll the plate, and some
little way up the glass another piece will
present itself about the size of shilling or
ten cent piece This curious effect is caused
by refraction.
